discussion Do you play every update or wait until there's a good amount of "content"

[lewdito]

i skip it if i see people saying that it is too short

If the game updates frequently, I skip a few updates (sometimes I wait 8-6 months, like in the case of We Are Lost). In other cases, when the project is at the final stage of development, I wait for the final version of the game to appear (Bright Past is an example). But I consider it a waste of time to replay the game regularly (updates often make previous saves incompatible), and we don't have a lot of time to waste. It's better to devote it to more useful things.

I wait for a good amount of content. The only games I play on each updates are the ones with high content updates.

Depends on the game but I will usually wait.

I play whenever is possible. You never know if a game will be abandoned, so why not play now?

 

[User_136321]

It really depends on how big the updates are and how long they take, just like most people, I would think. Obviously, for the games that update infrequently with big updates, I play every update. The ones with frequent small updates, I may skip some, unless an update has something I've been waiting for.

 

[Dovahkiinzz]

I usually wait for 3-4 updates

 

[na2]

i wait

 

[Elrond13]

good games I really like -> every update. With the others I wait a bit.

 

[Loscipher]

I try and wait a good bit if I see a game is fairly new. I've made the mistake of downloading a few games once they came out only to figure out that there wasn't much content yet or it was full of bugs and still in sorta development stages.

 

[frankie223]

i normally just play the update the day it comes out but i really wish i would wait a couple updates before playing again

 

[ghostwerx]

Generally I will play every update as it becomes available simply due the lenght of time between updates normally. If I let it go too long there is a good chance that I either forget that I even started playing the game and miss the update or inadvertantly drop the game.

 

[LewisCarroll]

I hate teasing myself with small updates. If it isn't at least a full act, I don't bother.

 

[eirie]

I typically wont play a game if its under 200mb, just cause there isnt enough content for me to get into it

 

[Dummy256]

Depends on the game. Selected few I check every update. Others, I wait. Sometimes until completion.

 

[DannyO24]

It depends on the frequency of the updates, if the game updates frequently than I can afford to skip a couple updates but if the game updates take a lot longer ( like 3 or 4 updates a year ) then I'll play every update that comes out.

Depends on the game. If I've played it before and know the updates are short I'll ignore the updates until I realize "Oh yeah it's been a while since I've played it". But others tend to have a lot of content so I play every update I see.

 

[ejectitembrilliance]

If it's not a game that actually delivers some content each update, I'll wait.
I usually check the patch notes. Anything less than hundreds of new renders is a pass tbh. "Added part two of day two." Nope, I'll wait until we have like day 10. Usually abandoned by then sadly.

 

[jeriko65]

I've been following some games and realized that I'm not enjoying them as much as when I played them for the first time. and one of the reasons is that the amount of content in an update is not enough to keep me engaged, so I was curious to know how the "community" plays and if any of you have the same problem.

it also depends on how interesting the game is

 

[albatross]

I'll wait a while and play other games in the meantime.
